• Children construct knowledge of the world through exploring, experimenting, and forming nascent “theories” about how the world works. More can be done in the early years to take advantage of children’s natural curiosity and lay a foundation for later STEM (Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics) learning.
   
• The CEESTEM project supports early childhood educators in creating hands-on, interactive classroom activities that encourage young children to develop and use scientific inquiry processes to explore and better understand their environments.
   
• In addition to laying a foundation that will contribute to increasing the number of students who choose to pursue careers in STEM fields, the work of CEESTEM will also contribute to raising the scientific literacy of all students, including those who do not choose careers in STEM fields.
